Hi guys,
This isn't exactly Cake related, but I was hoping someone could point
me in the right direction.
I have a Cake site that accepts updates via a form, and that form
includes attaching 2 files. I need to have remote server send a POST
request to the Cake site as a nightly crontab.
I was wondering if it's possible to write code in PHP that would send
a POST request to Cake, and also attach files.
In my searching I found this sample code, but it doesn't include file
attachments. What would I need to change to get files to work?
[code]
/* sendToHost
* ~~~~~~~~~~
* Params:
* $host - Just the hostname. No http:// or
/path/to/file.html portions
* $method - get or post, case-insensitive
* $path - The /path/to/file.html part
* $data - The query string, without initial question mark
* $useragent - If true, 'MSIE' will be sent as
the User-Agent (optional)
*
* Examples:
* sendToHost('www.google.com','get','/search','q=php_imlib');
* sendToHost('www.example.com','post','/some_script.cgi',
* 'param=First+Param&second=Second+param');
*/
function sendToHost($host,$method,$path,$data,$useragent=0)
{
// Supply a default method of GET if the one passed was empty
if (empty($method)) {
$method = 'GET';
}
$method = strtoupper($method);
$fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
if ($method == 'GET') {
$path .= '?' . $data;
}
fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
fputs($fp,"Content-type: application/x-www-form- urlencoded\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n");
if ($useragent) {
fputs($fp, "User-Agent: MSIE\r\n");
}
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
if ($method == 'POST') {
fputs($fp, $data);
}
while (!feof($fp)) {
$buf .= fgets($fp,128);
}
fclose($fp);
return $buf;
}
